Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

After dinner, I came to the station and waited for a while before getting on the bus to Qingshan Commune.

I just finished eating and got on the shaky car. The smell in the car was messy and unpleasant.

Gu Nuanyi felt a little uncomfortable, so she took out an orange from her net bag and put it under her nose, which made her feel better.

He took out an orange from his net bag and handed it to Gu Zhigao: "Comrade Zhigao, here's an orange for you."

Gu Zhigao shook his head: "You eat, I'm full. Comrade Nuanyi, you need to eat less fruit and more rice so that you can grow taller."

Gu Nuanyi: ...What's wrong with her height... She's only 17 years old, it's not like she can't grow taller, she still has hope of reaching 1 meters, okay?

An hour and a half later, we finally arrived at Qingshan Commune.

As soon as he got off the car, Gu Zhigao looked around, then waved his hands excitedly and shouted: "Dad, we are here"

Gu Qianjin hurried over and was stunned when he saw Gu Nuanyi next to Gu Zhigao: "You...you are Gu Nuanyi?"

"Uncle Gu, I am Gu Nuanyi"

Gu Qianjin looked at Gu Nuanyi for a long time without saying anything. The silence at this moment was deafening...

After a while, Gu Qianjin touched Gu Nuanyi's head and said, "Child, you have suffered!!!"

Gu Nuanyi tilted her head. Is this person trying to tell me how tall I am?

"Dad, are we going home?"

Gu Qianjin: "The train for the educated youth is late. I have to wait for them. Have you seen Master Gu? Master Gu will take you back first."

Gu Zhigao leaned his head out to take a look, then walked towards Master Gu with his luggage, and turned back to shout, "Comrade Nuanyi, follow me quickly!"

"Comrade Zhigao, where is the post office? My luggage should have arrived."

"There is a post office in our commune. I'll take you there later. Let's put the luggage on the oxcart first. That's Master Gu, who is in charge of driving the oxcart in our team. We usually go to the commune by oxcart, which costs 1 cent each time. There are also state-owned restaurants, supply and marketing cooperatives, coal stations, and grain stations in the commune, but there are not many things there." Gu Zhigao introduced Gu Nuanyi as he walked.

Master Gu was sitting next to the ox cart smoking a pipe. When he saw Gu Zhigao carrying his luggage towards them, he stood up quickly and asked, "Zhigao, did you pick up the person?"

Gu Nuanyi introduced herself with a smile: "Second Master Gu, I am Gu Nuanyi"

Mr. Gu paused for a moment while cracking his pipe. Gu Nuanyi had gradually gotten used to it. When he got to the team, there would probably be many ladies who would want to know how tall he was. It would be a shame if he didn't get used to it.

Gu Zhigao put the luggage on the ox cart and said, "Second Master, Comrade Nuanyi still has luggage at the post office. We will go get it. Please wait here for a while."

"Okay, go ahead. I'm here to take our Nuan Yi home today. I won't be bringing anyone else. You guys can take your time to look around."

Gu Nuanyi felt warm in her heart and gave Master Gu a sweet smile.

After Gu Nuanyi walked away, Master Gu took a puff of his pipe and said, "Alas, I don't know how Xiao Gu took care of the child, she is so thin and small, like a little chicken. It's good that she is back, so we old guys can take care of her more. She is the only child of the Xiao Gu family. You said Xiao Gu is such a good person, how come... Alas..."

Gu Zhigao brought Gu Nuanyi to the post office and successfully got the two huge packages after showing their IDs.

Postman: "Fortunately you came to pick it up quickly, these two packages take up too much space"

"Thank you"

Gu Zhigao picked them up one by one and put them on the ox cart: "Do you want to buy anything else?"

"Yes! I still have to go to the commune to collect my subsidy."

Uncle Gu tapped his pipe and said, "Then hurry up and go."

Gu Zhigao led the way to the commune. After showing the certificate of the martyr's child, the commune leader quickly handed 10 yuan to Gu Nuanyi: "There are still 30 kilograms of coarse grains. What do you want? There are corn grits, potatoes, sweet potatoes, sorghum flour, and fine grains include rice and white flour."

“麻烦您给我来5斤玉米碴子、5斤高粱面、10斤土豆、10斤红薯、5斤大米和5斤白面面粉”

"Okay, sit here and wait for a while."

The commune leader immediately made arrangements, and soon someone delivered what Gu Nuanyi wanted.

The commune leader reminded him: "Come and collect it on the 10th of every month, but there will be no more after you turn 18."

Gu Nuanyi nodded: "I understand, thank you, leader."

Gu Zhigao lowered his head and asked, "Is there anything else you want to buy? The supply and marketing cooperative is in front."

"Can I buy the hoes?"

"If you can't buy it, you can only ask my father to write a note to buy it in the name of the brigade. But there are extra ones in the village, so let my father give you one when the time comes."

"Then I don't have anything to buy. I've sent you everything you need."

"Okay, let's go back then."

When they got to the ox cart, Gu Zhigao put his arm around Gu Nuanyi and lifted her onto the cart.

Master Gu raised his whip and said, "Sit still, let's go home!!!"
